Summary
Hey you - it's Crushed by Margaret Cabourn-Smith; the podcast about unrequited love. This episode I interview brilliant writer, speaker and activist LAURA BATES. Laura is a ludicrously impressive and articulate human and SO FUN despite the fact that her work is generally super serious. Do check out her books, especially the most recent THE NEW AGE OF SEXISM which is a terrifying account of how AI is affecting our lives when it comes to misogyny. I'm not saying it's a fun read but it's absolutely, profoundly important and gripping. Thanks for downloading and supporting the podcast.
